Dr. Tae is a videographer, skateboarder, scientist, and teacher. He earned his bachelor's degree in physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has held faculty positions Lake Forest College, DePaul University, and Northwestern University. As a skateboarder, he's best known for his consistent 360 flips, which admirers have nicknamed "Tae Flips." When the Los Angeles Times needed someone to explain the physics behind Jake Brown's slam on the MegaRamp at X Games XIII, they called Dr. Tae. His unique expertise also caught the attention of the video game studio Robomodo, where Dr. Tae is now a skateboarding physicist working on Tony Hawk: SHRED for Activision.
